A study by the Singapore Eye Research Institute found low acceptance of digital health services among the elderly.
Supported by the National Medical Research Council, the SERI study aimed to determine COVID-19-related awareness, knowledge, impact and preparedness among elderly Asians. In the process, the study also evaluated acceptance toward digital health services amid the pandemic.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT
Held during Singapore’s lockdown period from 7 April till 1 June 2020, participants comprised 523 citizens from Singapore s three major ethnic groups – Chinese, Indians, and Malays.
Multivariable logistic regression models were performed to evaluate the associations between demographic, socio-economic, lifestyle, and systemic factors, with COVID-19 awareness, knowledge, preparedness, well-being and digital health service acceptance.
